Take The Full Monty, add a sharper emotional edge, and replace the strutting strippers with a dignified British band. That's the essence of Brassed Off, a bittersweet gem released in 1996, a year before its more popular (and Oscar-nominated) counterpart. In the Yorkshire town of Grimley, there has always been a coal mine, just as for the last 111 years there has been a brass band, and it seems that Danny (the wondrous Pete Postlethwaite) has been the director for every one of those years. Tory economic policies, however, are closing coal mines around the country in favor of nuclear power, and Grimley appears to be next on the list. Danny is unfazed by the threat, claiming, "It's music that matters." But some of the men are about to quit the band until the appearance of Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald at her most radiant), who dazzles the all-male group (including old flame Andy, played by Ewan McGregor) first with her beauty, then with her flgelhorn playing. The new member gives the band a boost as they continue to perform and compete, but closure remains very real, as director Mark Herman (Little Voice) accompanies the band's performances (played with gusto by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band) with scenes of angry labor-management confrontations and family strife. In this context, some of the characters claim that the music is an irresponsible form of escapism. It becomes clear, however, from a touching performance of "Danny Boy" to the stirring conclusion at Royal Albert Hall, that music is an expression of the human spirit, a bit of beauty and sanity in a harsh world. With defiance, the band can play "Land of Hope and Glory," even when the land offers them neither. --David Horiuchi

石油が普及している時代に石炭はいらなくなり、グリムリーの炭坑は閉鎖されることになった。急に職を奪われた炭坑夫たちの姿が、今や日本でも他人事とは言えない「リストラの波」の厳しさ、哀しさを教えてくれる。失業したことで家族はバラバラになり、楽器を売ることも考え、ついには生きる希望まで失いかける団員達の姿に、切迫したものを感じさせる。
それでも、これは現実の厳しさを訴えるだけではない。男ばかりのバンドに美女が現れ、鼻の下を長くしてご満悦の団員達、そんな夫たちが心配で地方予選におしかける妻達の姿は至ってコミカル。それに音楽の素晴らしさ！ラストの『威風堂々』に、恥ずかしながら涙が止まらなかった。
